$950 USD SaleSALE Elegant Victorian 14k Gold Festoon Necklace, Amethyst and Pearl
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This sophisticated high Victorian necklace will be the perfect accent to your holiday outfit! The warm apricot hued glow of the gold perfectly accents the cool, deep purple amethyst, which is embellished with a pearl in a gold setting. This technique of setting a pearl within a stone is typical of the era in which this jewel was made (circa 1880). Note the use of the natural motif (branches) juxtaposed to the geometric background, and the contrast of the smooth polished flat areas to the soft, ...
$3,500 USD SaleSALE 18th Century Georgian Diamond Girandole Earrings!
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Georgian
It is impossible to wear these earrings and not feel glamorous! Please note that I had previously listed these earrings as Georgian Revival. I thought this was true, until a fellow Ruby Lane dealer who is an expert in Georgian jewelry told me she felt that they were the authentic to the Georgian period. Since I had already been planning to go to the Antiques Roadshow in Atlantic City June 6th, I took them with me to be appraised. Since I had a 9am ticket, the appraisers took their time ...
$75 USD SaleSALE Sterling Silver Rhinestone Paste Necklace, Embossed Closed Settings!
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This circa 1925 necklace is in excellent condition with not dull stones! The settings are closed domes with beautiful embossed decoration, and the early spring ring clasp helps to date it as a very early rhinestone piece! It measures 15 3/4" in length and the triple central drop is 1 1/2" in length. It was purchased in New York City at an antique shop over 30 years ago and kept boxed ever since, so it is in exceptional condition for its age!
$75 USD SaleSALE Victorian Garnet Cluster Flower Ring
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This vermeil ring features lovely dark pink garnets with a tinge of orange, but not rusty or brown. It is a size 6. I had it listed previously, but it was misplaced, and happily found! The head is 5/8" in length.
$225 USD SaleSALE Victorian Bowtie Brooch with Fringe Tassel
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This Mid Victorian Brooch is very three dimensional. A stippled golden globe seems to float within an enameled cage. The black tracery enamel and construction style is typical of the 1880s jewelers work. I actually added the bottom fringe component because it is of the same era and it certainly looks original! However the bottom piece is either gold filled or just the flat top has a sheet of darker metal sandwiched between sheets of gold. Quality Victorian gold filled material is not merely a ...
$75 USD ReducedREDUCED 14k Gold Victorian Turquoise and Pearl Bar Brooch

$350 USD SaleSALE 18k Gold and Enamel Victorian Chandelier Drop Earrings
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
Why are Victorian earrings so sought after? They are timeless in style and unparalleled in quality. I have never worn a pair that wasn't complimented! These authentic 18k (jeweler tested) Victorian earrings feature black enamelling. They are of hollow construction and hence, very light on the ear. They were missing their ear wires when found, so I purchased the best quality 14k wires that I could find to complete them. They measure 1 3/4" in length including the wires. The top and bottom center ...
$1,100 USD SaleSALE Exquisite Cherub Miniature Pendant in Ornate Etruscan Revival Frame, 14k!
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
What can I say, I love Victorian Cherubs and work hard on seeking them out! This little guy is hand painted on porcelain. The colors are enchanting, like a glimpse of Springtime in a romantic era of the past. The pendant itself is fabricated of 14k solid gold, with a high karat gild which perfectly compliments the cool pastels of the miniature. The composition of this piece is pleasingly classical. The miniature itself is 5/8" by 1/2". As you can see, it is in excellent condition with no chips ...
$125 USD SaleSALE Large Gold Victorian Pendant with pearl and paste
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This striking Victorian pendant measures 2 1/4" in length! It is die stamped 12k solid gold (jeweler tested) The style and construction is typical of the 1870s and it is in very good condition! The front of the pendant is high polished and the reverse is matt finished. The front embellishments were attached the the base of the brooch with soft solder. These pieces were soft soldered so that the high polished front was not marred by the high heat that hard solder would require. After all, how ...
$150 USD SaleSALE Large Early Victorian Garnet Seed Pearl Pendant c. 1840
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian:Fine:Victorian:Pendant
This beautiful pendant has an asymmetrical, Rococo design and features rose cut garnets and a single seed pearl. This piece was made by the electroforming process, invented in 1840. This is not to be mistaken for electroplating. There is no base metal under the gold, but there is the wax model which the metal was deposited on. (more about this process is explained in Jeannine Bells book Old jewelry 1840- 1950) Unlike the stamped hollow jewelry of its time, the wax core of the electroformed ...
$450 USD SaleSALE Victorian Etruscan Pendant or Brooch 14k
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This is among the finest examples of Etruscan Revival jewelry! Victorian jewelers went through great lengths to mimic the amazing granulation found on the Etruscan jewelry discovered in archaeological digs of the era. Ancient style jewelry was the rage of the high Victorian period. The top is a dramatic half egg shape embellished with Etruscan wire work and granulation. It has its original pinback, and pendant bale. It is 2" long and just over 1 1/2" wide. It is in excellent condition for its ...
$900 USD SaleSALE Spectacular Gold and Garnet Victorian Brooch, Detachable locket Pendant!
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
This gorgeous circa 1850 early Victorian brooch is a visual treat! It was fashioned out 14k gold, gilded with a glaze of apricot high karat gold, and studded with raspberry almadine garnets. The bow embellished locket has a glass covered compartment which houses what appears to be a finely woven plait of hair. Best of all, you can easily detach the locket to wear as a pendant! The entire piece is in excellent condition. The stones are closed backed, save one, which appears to have possibly been ...
$499 USD SaleSALE Fabulous Victorian Etruscan Revival Pendant Brooch Winged Scarab Motif!
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian

Each wire and bead was meticulously placed and fused onto the gold surface. This wonderful pendant tests to be 14k solid gold. This piece features a particularly desirable Egyptian winged scarab motif. During this period, Victorians were fascinated with the archaeological discoveries of the ...
$115 USD SaleSALE Georgian or Victorian Foiled Garnet Pendant Gold Gilded
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Georgian
Judging by the hook like bale, this pendant appears to have possibly been part of a larger corsage pendant brooch or stomacher. It features foil backed garnet colored stones. The top three stones are more purple in color and appear to have inclusions, which usually indicates genuine stones, but since I am not a gemologist I can't be sure. The stone on the upper left side has a chip on the inner edge. The bottom stone is burgundy in color and has a tiny chip on its right side, near the edge. The ...| Items 1 - 14 of 14 | Page 1 of 1 |
